hi Alex!

ouch. okay, i've only ever seen that error message once before ... in that case there turned out to be registry damage on the machine. xks finally managed to fix it by using a registry cleaning utility:
xks, "iTunes won't install/uninstall/run/etc. [LATEST VERSION]" #12, 09:13pm Sep 25, 2005 CDT
xks got the link to the regcleaner from the link to the "CoJeff" procedure in my previous post in the thread.
(i'm afraid i've never used that utility myself, so i can't really guide you through the procedure ... maybe it would be profitable to put in a question to xks in that thread asking him how he went about things?)
love, b

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.
What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

My hard drive crashed and now I can't find my playlists.
Had to have my hard drive replaced and now I lost all of my playlists. How do I get them back?
In which case, unless you have an existing subscription to iTunes Match, you're out of luck. I could have helped pull back the media and playlists from the device if they hadn't been wiped already.
I guess you could take a look at this iLounge Article anyway. In some cases the database on a device can be wiped without actually deleting the hidden media content. Even if it has been wiped there may be a chance that an undelete tool could restore the deleted files, but it is a long shot. Either way the playlists are gone for good.
For the future see Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy. The tool can also be used to backup other important documents and data.

My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed (my computer) I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes. When I'm signed into Itunes and attempt to download from the cloud a text box pops up saying "I need to authorize the computer before I can download previous purchases". I'm using the same computer that I purchased all previous songs. So how do I authorize my computer?
On your Computer...
Open iTunes...
If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
(In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
See Here for full details...

My hard drive crashed and I had to wipe my computer. When I plug my iPod into my computer, it asks if I want to sync my (empty) iTunes account to my (full) iPod, but doesn't give me the option to put my iPod music onto my empty iTunes account. All I want to do is put my iPod's music back into my iTunes account, but can't figure out how to do it. I had some music backed up, but when I put it into iTunes, it won't play the songs (has an ! next to it) even though I purchased the songs from iTunes. I've tried authorizing my account, but nothing brings my old account back. Any help would be appreciated.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just this reason.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -
I got a request from apple to update my itunes and while uploading the update, the program gave an error message and now I can not open my itunes and fear that all my music etc is gone? what do I do to correct this problem?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

How can I use my backup external hard drive to sync into Lightroom and still work on the same photos I was working on and get rid of the ?. The photos are on a folder so I need to someone sync the folder into Lightroom. Please help!
When I right click on an image, then went to Go to Folder in Library, it pulls up the new external hard drive where I made the new link. When I try to work on the photos, the image still says file image is offline or missing. When I right click on the image to Show in Finder, it says the image could not be used because the original file could not be found. I eventually did click on their locate and found the image. When I linked those two together, a few minutes later ALL the "?" went missing and now IT WORKS!!!!
That was weird!
Hope this helps someone else in my predicament. -
My hard drive is dun. I'm get a new Mac. Can I put my music form my IPhone and iPod onto my new Mac.
Hi,
With a single user activation license, you can install Acrobat on two machines.
If you want to install the software on third machine, then you might need to deactivate it from the old one.
If the hard disk has crashed, then please contact Adobe Customer Service as they would be able to help you out for the same.
Contact Customer Care

After a computer crash I had to reinstall the whole system using Migration Assistant. The User ID is NOT the same as the original computer. And now every time I reboot the computer and load Logic the program asks me to enter my Serial Number with a "Licensing" window. Why can't the copy protection see that I have already done this? Am I missing some Pref file, or is it in the wrong location? The program works fine once I enter in the number and insert my Logic XSKey (from an older update). Thanks.
Hi!
Do you run automap 4.8/4.9? If so, then the chance is that automap is the culprit for slow undos/redos on LPX 10.1. Delete the Novation controller in the LPX controller surfaces. You find it under preferences/controller surfaces. If that is the solution for you, then uninstall automap. You find the uninstaller under applications-automap.
Good luck! -
A project I've been working on for months crashed and now I can't open it.
I had two external hard drives hooked up to backup a project. I backed it up so it was on both drives and tried to open it from one of the drives. I wasn't thinking and had both drives still hooked up. I am guessing this was the problem. Now when I try to open from either drive (when I unhook the other) Logic will asks something about my last rewire session ending abruptly and then I just see that **** pinwheel and have to Force Quit. My backup drive won't open it. My regular drive won't open it. Help. Please.
ThanksHi,
have you tried to open a "last saved session version" instead of the actual song file?
There is a folder inside your song folder which stores these song files.
Logic can be set up to autosave many previous versions of your song file,to help in recovering from stuff like this.
Also,if the ReWire seems to be the problem...maybe look to make sure you did not accidantally update/change that (the ReWire client+drivers).

I moved iTunes music to my hard drive "D" and now it won't open!
My hard drive "C" was getting somewhat full, so I decided to move my iTunes music files over to my second hard drive "D" (I have a dual hard drive on my computer). When I try and open iTunes, it says, "The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'Music' folder."
I cannot open the "Music" folder, because when I do, it just opens up the same window I was already in when I tried to open it. The main reason I want to open iTunes is so I can reset my iPod because it is not working anymore. The scroll wheel, the hold button, the backlight, and it automatically sleep mode (after not touching it for a couple of minutes) is all that works. I cannot click anything.
I have moved all of my iTunes folders back over to my "C" drive, but it still won't work. I also reinstalled iTunes in the "Music" folder, and it won't work. Basically nothing has worked!You might find this article useful, don't be put off by the title, the process is substantially similar moving to another internal drive: iLounge - Managing your iTunes Library on an External Hard Drive

Does any one know how to make idvd in full screen? I have done it many times before, but its not working now.
Unless I don't understand what you want to do, don't you just load your competed DVD in your computer, open DVD Player.app and then type Command + F to enter full screen mode?
